The moment the zombie stepped into the formation, Jiang Nuo cut his palm and used his blood to activate the formation. The five elements gradually lit up, and the red rope bells flashed, trapping the zombie inside the formation.
Jiang Nuo and Si Yan each stood in a corner, simultaneously chanting the Blood-Slaying Curse and channeling their Spiritual Power into each other.
"When the six Wu and six Ji are in harmony, evil spirits will cease... When the six Ren and six Gui are in harmony, evil spirits will be destroyed!"
The Spiritual Power, mediated by the red rope, merged with the power of the five elements and went straight to the bound zombie.
As Spiritual Power continued to be injected, the zombie finally began to show other reactions.
Like wax melting in a fire, the skin on their faces and bodies began to peel off, flowing into clumps and dripping onto the ground, emitting a strong, foul stench.
"Hmm..."
Even so, the zombie did not fall to the ground. One of its eyes, which had fallen out, rolled around, dispelling the Corpse Qi that Lin Yu had used to control it, and it became completely focused on Pu Sang.
Clang clang clang--
A gong suddenly sounded at the village entrance.
"Not good!!"
The corpse-drivers standing nearby suddenly realized with a start and shouted that it was midnight.
"It's midnight! Run!"
Everyone looked in their direction, puzzled.
Jiang Nuo and Si Yan remained motionless, as they needed to use their Spiritual Power to restrain the zombie with all their might.
"Everyone in this village turns into monsters at this time!! Anyway, we're running away first, you guys do whatever you want!"
The corpse drivers don't usually live in the village, because some people dislike them. They form their own group and usually live in the cemetery behind the mountain.
Upon hearing the midnight gong, they became extremely anxious. After offering a few perfunctory explanations, they all rushed towards the cemetery, seemingly finding the group of people even more terrifying than the wronged spirits within!
"Huh?? There's this part too? Are there any normal people left in this village?"
"What Si Yan said is true! This village is full of monsters, so he wasn't lying during the day."
Please, fans, stop spreading misinformation! The corpse-driver clearly said that they turn into monsters at night, but during the day they're still human. If they're human, they shouldn't be killed!
"I'm so confused, damn it! It means there are no normal people left besides the guest list and the corpse-drivers."
"Ah... how do you know the corpse drivers are normal? They're all from the same village. Do you think they'll be safe just because they're hiding in the mountains...?"
"Mommy, Mommy! Stop talking, damn it, I'm getting goosebumps."
Wu Chou two exchanged glances, looking worriedly at Si Yan and Jiang Nuo, who were still unable to leave for the time being.
Zhou Yize, disregarding everything else, ran a few steps towards the formation, shouting, " Jiang Nuo! It's dangerous! Let's leave quickly!"
Wu Chou: "No! If those two stop, the zombie will definitely regenerate!"
Pu Sang paced anxiously, "But... then we'll go deal with the monsters in the village. Maybe... maybe those corpse-drivers are just exaggerating."
She and Wu Chou reached an agreement, and she picked up the two discarded peach wood swords and placed them outside the formation.
Zhou Yize looked left and right, unable to find what he should do, his eyes revealing confusion and fear.
In the end, he could only obediently stay by the formation, hoping that when monsters appeared later, Jiang Nuo could protect him, just like he had protected Jiang Nuo before.
Meanwhile, the two guarding the formation could clearly feel that as the midnight gong sounded, the Ghost Power within the zombie seemed to be flowing continuously, already able to contend with the Spiritual Power they had injected.
"No..."
Jiang Nuo murmured to herself, "This is impossible to control; I need to think of another way."
He switched to making a hand seal with one hand and flicking the red string with the other to remind Si Yan opposite him. The two looked up at each other and nodded at the same time.
Jiang Nuo touched the ground with her toes, spun around, and flew into the air, leaving the array's encirclement.
But at this very moment, danger lurked everywhere.
First, Pu Sang shouted, and everyone looked towards the village entrance. All the villagers who had been normal during the day looked like walking corpses, their eyes lifeless, their heads tilted, as they slowly swam over.
The further they went, the more aged their skin became; they could even watch a child grow into an old person.
Including the aunt who was killed by Si Yan during the day, who slowly transformed into the old woman's appearance as she walked, with a hole in her chest.
I told you!!! Si Yan would never lie! Hurry up and apologize to Si Yan!
[I've taken screenshots of all the account IDs that insulted Si Yan during the day. I'm waiting for your apologies on Weibo!]
[I always say you shouldn't mess with this couple. (shakes head)]
There were so many villagers that Pu Sang and Wu Chou felt a chill run down their spines, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge forward.
The fight wasn't over yet. The zombie, with almost two layers of skin left, only had its stinking, black body and stiff, melting hands rushing towards Pu Sang, but was stopped by Si Yan halfway there.
In the midst of their entanglement, Si Yan caught a glimpse of Zhou Yize leaning close to Jiang Nuo, seemingly offering words of comfort and concern.
Si Yan's breathing hitched slightly as she dodged the zombie's claw attack. Her phoenix eyes fell silent, her pale, sickly face contorted with rage, shrouded in malevolence.
But in an instant, he returned to normal, slowly glancing at the zombie that was charging toward Pu Sang again.
Jiang Nuo was racking her brains for a way to deal with the zombies when she browsed through the warehouse and finally found a suitable weapon.
As soon as I snapped out of my daze, I heard Zhou Yize babbling in my ear, saying something I couldn't understand.
The next second, Pu Sang's scream was heard.
" Brother Yan!!"
Jiang Nuo's expression changed drastically. He looked up and saw the zombie suddenly stab Si Yan away. Si Yan flipped over and flew out, his back slamming hard against a tall tree trunk before sliding down and falling to the ground.
" Si Yan!"
Jiang Nuo rushed over, temporarily restrained the zombie with the red rope, and reached Si Yan as quickly as possible, picking him up in her arms.
"How is it? Is it serious? Let me see."
Looking at this man's pale, handsome face, it would be a lie to say she didn't feel sorry for him. Jiang Nuo frowned, her usual calm and collected demeanor always seeming to be ineffective in front of Si Yan.
Si Yan looked sickly and uncomfortable. She buried her face in Jiang Nuo's shoulder, breathing rapidly as if she was enduring pain. Her low voice was filled with grievance.
" Nuonuo... it hurts."
But now was clearly not the best time to act cute. As soon as Si Yan finished speaking, the zombie showed signs of breaking free of the red rope.
Jiang Nuo quickly kissed him on the cheek, as if to reassure him, "It'll be quick, wait for me."
After saying that, he grabbed the bag that had been thrown to the ground in the chaos of the fight and quickly stepped forward, under everyone's watchful eyes.
Then, he pulled out a pulse electronic energy cannon from his backpack, which was at least five times larger than the backpack itself. It emitted a dark blue arc of light and crackled with electricity.
Jiang Nuo hoisted the cannon onto his shoulder, grinning broadly, his smile a mix of murderous intent and cunning.
Everyone who saw this:???
Oh my god...
Everyone else is using magic, why are you using a quantum weapon?!
"Where did he get this from??? This bag is a bottomless pit, damn it."
Does such a thing actually exist in real life?
Holy crap! Jiang Nuo's going to bombard the zombies!
